We like to think our financial decisions are logical, but money decisions are rarely purely logical. Fear, anxiety, overconfidence, and even headlines can influence choices in ways we don’t always recognize. And when emotions take over, even a solid plan can get thrown off track. Today, Mark breaks down how emotions impact financial decisions and why having a disciplined plan, along with the right advisor, can keep you grounded when it matters most.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

📉 Timing Mistakes: Fear leads people to sell at the worst times

⚖️ Right Balance: Emotions aren’t bad, unchecked emotions are

📊 Stay Invested: Missing key days can damage long-term returns

🛠️ Guided Planning: Structure helps reduce emotional decisions

🤝 Fiduciary Role: Why having the right advisor keeps you grounded
